Hoppy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! I am just sitting here waiting for a telephone call from Dick’s sister-in-law. We are supposed to be going there today. I am not sure if it is for dinner or supper. She said that she would call me and let me know what time. Since it is almost 11:00 I can not imagine that it is going to be dinner. It really doesn’t matter to me but I wish that I knew what time to plan for. I have had this gut feeling that this is going to turn out to be a bad day.

She cooks crazy. I am traditional! I have children who are picky eater. I shouldn’t be so negative and I should be glad that I don’t have to do all the work. I’m just so skeptical.

Friday night I was so glad that we needed calculator tape and we could not get any other than running out to Wal*Mart to get some. I had not done my Easter shopping yet. How was the “Easter Bunny” supposed to come to our house without supplies? So when I went out for calculator tape I filled my cart with Easter Bunny Supplies.”

I put off buying eggs for the kids to color because they have been so expensive. I was waiting for the sale. The sale never came ~ what is this world coming to when eggs do not go on sale around Easter time? Dick worked Saturday so I waited for his telephone call “do we need anything?” That call never came! What is this world coming to when Dick does not call home for a shopping list? So I sent him out to buy eggs so the kids would have eggs to color.

I thought that Dick would supervise the egg-coloring event but he crawled in bed for a nap. Rather than going to work I hung around and got them started. They were almost done when I left for work.

Why do I resent the fact that I have to do everything when it comes to the fun stuff for the kids? If I didn’t go Christmas shopping they would end up with junk from The Dollar Store. If I didn’t organize egging coloring they wouldn’t get to color eggs. If I didn’t stock up on “Easter Bunny supplies” they wouldn’t get any. If I did not buy them Valentines they would go without. All of this just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Even if he would mention it would maybe make it better. Yes, I said maybe ~ I am not so sure that it would.

It is 11:03 ~ P just called. She wants us there at noon. She wants to eat around 1 PM. This would be great but she should have called yesterday. Alexa is still in bed. Dick is still in bed. I just hustled Nadine off to the shower. I am positive that we will not be there at noon. She will be lucky if we are there at one. I feel like doing to them what they did to us on Christmas Eve. They were so drunk when they decided to come out that they took the back road and they got lost. They got way lost!

Work Saturday night was quite boring. It seemed like it took forever for 12:30 to arrive so that we could close. I remember back in the day when we had to be out of the bar by midnight because it was officially Easter and the bars could not be open on Easter.

At least that week is over. I am hoping that I get a night off next week. I am the one who writes the schedule and I can not remember if I get a night off.

I just talked to my Big Son to let him know that the Easter Bunny left his basket here. I am going to drop it off when we go to town. I tried to convince him that it is a bucket of dirt. He is going to see his grandma today.

I best get this posted. When Alexa gets out of the shower it is my turn. I should have showered when I got up that way I know that I would have hot water. My chances will be better than Dick’s chances of having hot water. I will wake him when I am finished! Mean huh?

P told me that Dick made a bet wit h a friend. He was going to stop drinking! I guess Dick lost the bet because he is still drinking. Can you believe that I have not said a word about his drinking for a very long time? It is not worth my energy because it will just make me angry. Being angry with him for drinking all the time is not worth my energy either. His problem not mine. I have tried for many years to help him but there is nothing that I can do to help him until he wants to help himself.

On that note I better get moving!

Have a great day!
